Usage Notes or Etymology
The term “aseptor” is a loanword from the English “acceptor” referring to someone who accepts or agrees to something. In the Indonesian sociological context, this word was specifically adopted into medical and demographic jargon to designate those who accept contraceptive methods. The use of the term acceptor became widespread during the New Order era, coinciding with the massive national population and family planning program campaigns.
